Why Do I Need Aeration?
Ponds without oxygen can become stagnant resulting in excess algae, muck on the bottom, also unhealthy or dying fish.
The process of aeration supplies the water with rich oxygen and removes excess nutrients and pollutants making the entire body of water a healthy ecosystem.
All ponds benefit from aeration
With out aeration, ponds turn eutrophic, which means they start to produce algae and bottom muck
Ponds also experience "turn over" in the spring and the fall due to water stratification
Stagnant ponds can produce foul odors due to certain algae. Aeration helps to eliminate this problem
Aeration increases the healthy water living space for fish
